Syria Pays Cash For Riot, Media Takes Propaganda For Free
June 6, 2011 16:12 by Simon Plosker

Once again a flood of headlines present Israel as an aggressor responsible for the deaths of dozens of unarmed civilians. Was this really a peaceful protest or another Syrian-engineered attempt to breach Israel’s border? Where did the media get it right and where did it go wrong?

Syrian Media: A Credible Source?
For many weeks, Syrian state controlled media (and it is all state controlled) has failed to report on President Bashar Assad’s brutal and murderous assault his own citizens’ peaceful protests against the Syrian regime. So why then did the media rush to quote casualty figures provided by Syrian media despite the lack of any concrete confirmation of the number of deaths or injuries from either side?

For example, the New York Times reported:

By nightfall, the Syrian news agency SANA reported that 22 protesters had been killed and more than 350 had been wounded. Israeli officials said that they had no information on casualties but suggested that the Syrian figures were exaggerated.

Even so, it was the worst bloodshed in the Golan Heights since Israel and Syria fought a war there in 1973.

As Jeffrey Goldberg says:

So, the official Syrian news agency, which has every reason to inflate the casualty figures, reports that 22 people were killed by Israeli troops. Israel says that it disputes the figures. The Israeli information operation is far from perfect, but it’s much better than the Assad regime’s information operation. So skepticism about these figures is certainly warranted.

And yet, the Times follows this ambiguous paragraph about the death toll with a declaration: “Even so, it was the worst bloodshed in the Golan Heights since Israel and Syria fought a war there in 1973.” How does the Times know this? How does the Times know how many people died? The only source for the death toll is the Assad regime’s propaganda apparatus.

Protestors or Infiltrators?
Events on the Golan played out in similar fashion to the events of the so-called Naqba Day one month previously as did the press coverage. Many headlines referred to Israel opening fire on “protestors”. But this was not your run of the mill protests, nor was it peaceful. This was an attempt to breach Israel’s borders in a hostile act.

The term “protestors” conjures visions of placard carrying activists rather than the more accurate term of “rioters” who threw Molotov Cocktails and stones and confronted Israeli soldiers while trying to enter Israel.

Any infiltration has to be taken seriously and that is how the press should also have treated these incidents – as attempts to illegally breach a sovereign nation’s borders.

Despite this, Karl Vick of Time Magazine chose to frame the incident in this way:

Television images on Sunday from the Golan Heights village of Majdal Shams showed apparently unarmed Palestinian civilians marching peacefully down a hill toward Israeli soldiers who had assumed firing positions. Then came a crackle of gunshots; bloodied bodies were then carried back up the hill. It went on for hours, with 20 people reported dead according to Syrian state television. The human cost was high but for a Palestinian movement trying to reframe itself, the footage at least set it on a course along on the lines of Birmingham, Soweto and Gandhi’s Salt March — parallels it has been making explicitly.

Aside from falsely presenting Palestinians as Gandhian acolytes, this description certainly does not correspond with other media reports that confirmed that the IDF had issued clear warnings in Arabic and fired tear gas before firing over the heads of the Palestinians in an attempt to convince them to halt. The use of live fire and then, only used selectively, was solely a last resort.

The video below records the verbal warning given by the IDF.


Palestinian “Refugees”
The Daily Telegraph reported:

Protesters said they were hoping to emulate Hassan Hijazi, who managed to reach his former home in the Israeli coastal city of Jaffa after the last protest before turning himself into the police.

In fact, Hassan Hijazi, like all of those Palestinians involved in May’s border infiltration, had never set foot inside Israel before and therefore could not have been attempting to reach their “former homes”. Most of those Palestinians involved in May’s and this latest incident are second and third generation descendants of Palestinian refugees displaced in 1948.

In similar fashion, The Times of London (subscription only) stated:

Yesterday’s protest was meant to mark Naqsa, the anniversary of the Six Day War, in which Israel annexed the West Bank and the Golan Heights. Many of the demonstrators were Palestinians who have been unable to return to their homes for decades.

In addition to wrongly crediting Palestinians with the ability to “return” to homes that they never left in the first place, Times journalist Sheera Frenkel also mistakenly states that Israel annexed the West Bank. Israel, has, in fact, never annexed the West Bank, which was instead, Israeli administered and not absorbed into the State of Israel.

While this may seem like a minor point, it is extremely important in light of the many legal arguments surrounding the status of those territories captured in 1967.

Misleading reporting such as the examples above only serves to promote the Palestinian demand for a “right of return” and to mislead over the status of the Palestinian territories.

Meanwhile, CNN still believes that Hamas-run Gaza is still under Israeli “occupation”:

Israel has made peace with the other two parties to the 1967 Six-Day War, Egypt and Jordan, but still occupies the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza as well as the Golan Heights.

A Media Setup
According to a Syrian opposition group:

The Reform Party of Syria has learned today, from intelligence sources close to the Assad regime in Lebanon, that Syrians storming through the Golan Height next to the Quneitra crossing are Syrian farmers who have migrated in recent years from the drought-stricken northeast Syria to the south. Estimates put the number at 250,000 impoverished migrants.

Information received cite the regime has paid hundreds of these farmers $1,000 each to show-up and $10,000 to their families should any of them succumb to Israeli fire. In Syria, an average salary is about $200 a month and to these impoverished farmers, such a one-time sum can keep them economically afloat for six months.

Even The Guardian, referring to the previous Naqba Day violence on the Lebanese border, acknowledged the possibility that Arab demonstrators could be motivated by money rather than ideology:

One demonstrator who was wounded that day told the Guardian the Lebanese militia Hezbollah had given him $50 to turn up at the border and $900 to have his gunshot wounds treated by physicians. He said he had been planning to return to Maroun al-Ras yesterday until the rally was cancelled.

At least Dominic Waghorn of Sky News also got it:

The buses of protestors only reached the border area because authorities allowed them to. They may well have been organised by the regime or at the very least encouraged….

The tragic events were carried live by Syrian state television in marked contrast to the cover up perpetrated by Syrian government media of the military offensive being waged against its own people inside the country that has killed hundreds.

State ‘journalists’ appeared to have recovered their ability to count bodies stating at least twenty had been killed

While the world watches the pictures from the Golan, it will be distracted from the bigger story, Syria’s slaughter of its own people and the gradual demise of the Assad regime.

What Really Happened?
After investigating the incident, the IDF believes that many of the Syrian rioters were responsible for their own deaths by igniting mine fields on the border. YNet News reports:

Responding to Sunday’s violence, IDF sources said the protesters who ignited minefields on ‘Naksa Day’ did not bring fire extinguishers with them and thus posed a danger to themselves and others by behaving irresponsibly. Others threw firebombs near Quneitra crossing to the same effect, they said.

The sources are also assuming that many protesters were hurt or killed as a result of the Red Cross’s inability to reach them, due to protesters’ refusal to cease violence in order to allow for medical evacuations.

IDF officials say commanders ordered three ceasefires, each of which were taken advantage of by the protesters in order to gain ground.

Whatever the real story behind what occurred on the Israeli-Syrian border, once again Israel finds itself damaged by a media that rushed to produce sensationalist headlines based on the less than credible propaganda organ of a brutal dictatorship with no regard for its own people let alone the Palestinian pawns in its war on Israel.

This Day…



Early June 1096: At Cologne Emich decided that his work in the Rhineland was completed . Early in June he set out with the bulk of his forces up the Main towards Hungary. But a large party of followers thought that the Moselle valley also should be purcged of Jews. They broke off from his army at Mainz and June 1 they arrieved at Trier. Most of the Jewish community there was safewly given refuge by the archbishop in his palace; but as the Crusaders approached some Jews in panic began to fight among themselves, while others threw themselves into the Moselle and were drowned. Their persecutors then moved on to Metz, where twenty two Jews perished. About the middle of June thay returned to Cologne, hoping to rejoin Emich; but, finding him gone, they proceeded down the Rhine, spending from June 24 to June 27 in massacring the Jews at Neuss, Wefelinghofen, Eller and Xanten. Then they dispersed, some returning hime, others probably merging with the army of Godfrey of Bouillon.

News of Emich’s exploits reached the parties that had already left for Germany for the East. Volkmar and his followers arrived at Prague at the end of May. [1]



June 10, 1190: During the Third Crusade Frederick I Barbarossa drowns in the Saleph River while leading an army to Jerusalem. The German emperor was one of three monarchs leading the crusade. The other two were Phillip Augustus of France and Richard the Lionhearted of England. From the Jewish point of view, the untimely drowning was a great loss. “For German Jewry, The Third Crusade could have raised havoc similar to the first.” That it didn’t was a result of the foresight demonstrated by Frederick. “His timely order not to preach against the Jews, directed to monks and priests, helped, and his warnings to the Diet (Parliament) that anyone convicted of killing Jews would with his own life helped even more. Local marshals dispersed surly mobs hovering around Jewish districts, and Frederick let it be known that anyone who inflicted injury on a Jew would have his hand chopped off. At the emperor’s urging, bishops in his realm threatened people who attacked Jews with excommunication. A Jewish chronicler, Ephraim ben-Jacob of Bonna, wrote, ‘Frederick defended us with all his might and enabled us to live among our enemies, so that no one harmed the Jews.’”[2]

June 10, 1539: Pope Paul III sends out letters to his Bishops calling for a delay in the start of the Council of Trent, which would turn out to be one of the major conclaves in the history of the Catholic Church. Pope Paul III is the Pope who is credited with starting a series of tribunals that became known as the Roman Inquisition or, more simply, The Inquisition. While the Inquisition was aimed at a variety of non-believers, over the centuries Jews, Marranos and Conversos suffered disproportionately under this scourge.[3]



June 10, 1624: During the Dutch War for Independence France and the Netherlands sign the Treaty of Compiegne which enabled France to supply the Dutch with financial aid in their fight to gain independence from Spain. Since Protestant Holland’s victory over Catholic Spain was in the best interest of the Jews since the former had provided a safe haven and the latter followed a ruinous policy of anti-Semitism.[4]

In 1627, Sir Lauchlan grants a provision of some of his lands to Katherine, eldest daughter of Lauchlan MacLean of Coll, and spouse, or intended spouse, to his eldest son, John. MacNeill, Rector of Sleat, acted as Sir Lauchlan’s baillie in giving seisure to the lady.[5]

1629: King James Version (revision; 1st edition printed at Cambridge).[6]

June 10, 1648: 1648: Start of the Cossacks ten year war with the Poles also known as the Chmielniki Uprising. The Jews were caught between the Russian Orthodox Cossacks who hated the Roman Catholic Poles who had been occupying their land. Jews had served as agents for the Polish nobles managing their lands and collecting the taxes. For this, and the fact that they were Jews, the Cossack hated them. At the same time, the Poles betrayed the Jews, in many instances turning them over to the Cossacks thinking that this would mollify the angry horde. It didn't but from the Jews' point of view that really did not matter since they were killed regardless of what happened. In the ten tumultuous years that followed, over seven hundred Jewish communities were destroyed and between one hundred and five hundred thousand Jews lost their lives. The ensuing sense of helplessness contributed to the rise of the messianic movement which soon followed.[7]

June 10, 1755: Braddock used Fort Cumberland as his base of operations during his flawed and ultimately disastrous campaign against the French at Fort Duquesne. Braddock‘s army set off from Fort Cumberland to advance against Fort Duquesne on June 10, 1755,[10] generally following the Ohio Company road.[11]

Winsor‘s 1887 ―Narrative and Critical History of America‖. It shows a blockhouse and the

Ohio Company‘s ―New Store‖ on the Virginia (now West Virginia) side of the Potomac River,

and Fort Cumberland on the other.[12]

June 10, 1755: Why Braddock did not take the path along Jennings Run

Reasons Braddock did not take the path along Jennings Run were:

· Washington had repaired part of the Ohio Company road in the preceding year, and that

portion would not have been terribly grown up by June 10 of 1755, when Braddock‘s

expedition left Fort Cumberland on its way toward Fort Duquesne.

· From circa 1906 Legislative Road photos (Appendix 0019), one can see that the rocky

mountain slope came very close to Jennings Run. It appears that nothing more than a

bridle path would have been possible until a certain amount of rock and earth were

moved, unless one more or less took to the creek bed in some areas. This notion is

supported by an 1806 report by commissioners for the National Road (Appendix 0061),

that mentions hillside digging as a reason for not placing the National Road along

Jennings Run. The route would not have been very suitable for Braddock’s artillery and

numerous wagons.[15]

June 10, 1775

When the war broke out, the two young Bedingers Henry and George. M. enlisted for a year in rifle company of Capt. Hugh Stevenson; another company was embodied in the neighbod. Of Winchester, in Frederick Co., some twenty five miles distant, under Danel Morgan, afterwards so famed in the war. Stevenson’s company numbered 100 men, young & athletic & famous sharp shooters with their rifles. This company was honored with a barbecue at Stevenson’s or rather Stinson’s Spring, in the neighborhood of Shepardstown a little southwest of the town, large, clear spring surrounding wh. Was a lovely grove. Here the barbecue was given by (*Col. Wm. Morgan & others)(*crossed out) their neighbors. Aplenty of meats & cake. A large number of people of the neighborhood collected- men women & children. It was something new-(*& with some it was)(*crossed out) a painful parting.

In The company were some men of talent; one of the number wrote a song to be sung on the occasion, & joined in singing it:

1st

That seat of science, Athens,

And Earth’s great mustress Rome,

Where now are all their glories!

We scarce can find their tombs:

Then guard your rights, Americans,

Nor stoop to lawless sway,

Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose,

The landing of the Tea.



3d.

Far from a world of tyrants,

Beneath the western sky,

We formed a new dominion,

In the land of Liberty,

The world shall own their masters here,

Then hasten on the day,

We’ll shout & shoot, and shoot & shout,

For brave America.



4th.

We led fair Freedom hither,

And lo the deserts smiled,

A paradise of pleasure,

Just opened in the wild;

Your harvest, bold Americans,

No power shall snatch away,

(*Preserve, preserve, preserve, preserve your rights)(*crossed out)

Then let’s huzza, huzza, huzza

For brave America.

5th

Some future day shall crown us,

The masters of the main,

By giving law & freedom

To the subjects, France & Spain,

And all the isles & oceans spread,

Shall tremble & obey

The laws, the laws, the laws, the laws

Of North America.

2nd

Proud Albion bowed to Caesar,

And numerous lords before,

To Picts, and Danes, & Normans,

And many masters more,

But we can boast, Americans,

We’ve never fell a prey,

Preserve, preserve, preserve your rights

For brave America.



At the close of the barbecue, it was proposed that (*as the company were about to march out in defence of their liberties the survivors of the company present, if successful in the mighty struggle in wh. They were about to engage, should that day fifty years meet again on that spot & commemorate the interesting event. The mutual pledge was quickly interchanged, & then followed the touching parting scene of the little patriot band with their wives, their kindred, their sweethearts, and friends It was the 10th June, ’75.[17] [18]

[June 10, 1782—Monday]



Early this morning, Col. William Crawford, Dr. John Knight and the nine other American prisoners being held at Wingenund’s Town for the past three days were led away from the village, heading westward, guarded by a strong party of 17 Delaware warriors. The captives were greatly dejected, having just been told they were being taken to Pimoacan’s Town on Tymochtee Creek. They would be marched first to the old Half King’s Town, where they would spend the night, and tomorrow they would complete the journey.

The procession soon passed the place where Crawford and Knight had been captured and not long afterward began following the trail by which the army had made its initial approach to the old Half King’s Village. When that trail moved toward the southwest, however, the party continued straight west on another, smaller trail that was a more direct route than the one following the left bank of the Sandusky River.

Now, as they continued traveling, Crawford learned that his companion of many years ago, Simon Girty, was presently staying at Monakaduto’s house in the New Half King’s Town, not far from where the battle was fought. Seeing a possible ray of hope there for getting himself out of this present predicament, Crawford managed to convince his captors to take him there to talk with Girty instead of with the others to the old Half King’s Town.

When they came to where the trail split, 15 of the warriors led all the prisoners, except for Crawford, to the left fork, heading west and slightly south toward the old village, still about another seven miles distant. The other two warriors directed Crawford to follow the northwest fork and said they would reach Monakaduto’s new town in about an hour.[28]

Almost at this very moment, someone else was entering that New Half King’s Town who was not at all happy to be there—Pvt. Thomas Heady, under guard of the small party of Wyandot warriors who had been involved in his capture. The muscular young volunteer was in fairly good shape, considering he had been forced to run along with the horses much of the distance from where he had been captured toward this principal town. Only when his wounded leg began bothering him more and he became so exhausted that he slowed them considerably had he been permitted to ride double with one of the warriors for the remainder of the journey.

Now, having arrived at the town, they were greeted by a large number of Wyandots, including many women and children, who streamed out of their dweffings with loud cries, cheers and whoopings. With hardly a pause in the main part of the village, on the east side of the river, they crossed at the fording place to the west side and continued westward, passing McCormick’s Trading Post, where a number of other warriors emerged, along with half a dozen or more British Rangers.

With Heady’s captors leading the way, the entire group moved gradually west a short distance to where, close to the John Leith Trading Post, they formed a double gauntlet line some 200 yards in length. At the far southern edge of the line, Heady was stripped of all clothing and his face and body smeared with black paint—the mark of the condemned man. He was made to understand he was to run to the painted post at the north end of the line, adjacent to Leith’s store. If he made it there, his life would supposedly be spared. Blackened as he was for death, however, Heady didn’t believe that for a moment. Despite the tomahawk wound on his thigh, now somewhat inflamed and causing him to limp a little, he thought he could reach the far northern end of the gauntlet, and he resolved that if he got close enough, he would burst through the line and dart into the store, hoping to find refuge there. If nothing else, he might at least be able to snatch up a weapon and die fighting.

Most of the women and children who took their places in the line were wielding switches and larger sticks with which to strike the captive as he passed. Younger boys readied themselves with tomahawks and small bows and arrows with sharpened but not barbed points. Some of the men also had clubs, and a few had tomahawks, but the majority were armed with rifles heavily charged with gunpowder but not lead. There was little delay in starting Heady on his way. One of the warriors cried “Go!” and, at the same moment, he was whacked savagely across the small of his back with a club; the blow caused him to stagger, though he managed not to fall. At once he began running as strongly through the double line as he could. A roar of shrieks and screams rose all the way down the length of the gauntlet, and participants positioned themselves to strike most effectively.

The rules of the gauntlet run, such as they were, required that no one could strike or shoot at him as he approached and thereby check his forward progress, but they were free to inflict ~hatever injury they could to his sides and back as he passed. The result was that a multitude of blows rained upon him as he ran past the screaming Wyandots, and soon the skin of his back and buttocks, arms and legs, was badly bruised and lacerated, and a number of arrows were stuck shallowly in his flesh.



Worse yet was the intense stinging and burning pain inflicted upon him by powder burns, as warriors thrust their guns within inches of him and fired as he passed.

Despite the injuries, Heady’s constitution was such that he was holding up well as he approached the northern end of the line and the nearest point to Leith’s Trading Post. Abruptly he turned and smashed into the line, bowling over several people, and continued running right into the store.

John Leith was inside and Heady ran up to him and stopped, unable at first to talk as he gasped for breath but looking at the trader imploringly. Tempted though he was to thrust a weapon into the young man’s hands so he could defend himself, Leith did not do so, knowing it would place his own life in jeopardy. An instant later an Indian who had pursued him from the gauntlet line appeared in the doorway and threw his tomahawk. It struck Heady in the right side of his back, causing him to leap into the air with a cry of pain. He spun around and, with the weapon still embedded in his back, raced toward the door and bowled over the approaching Indian. The instant he plunged through the open doorway, however, he was struck by another tomahawk. The blade smashed into his brain and killed him.

As John Leith watched in horror, the shrieking Indians scalped Thomas Heady and then severed his head and stuck it on the end of a sharpened pole a dozen feet in length. They planted the butt end of the pole in the ground close to where he fell and left the body lying near the doorway to the trading post. As the excitement diminished, Leith approached a small group of the Wyandot leaders and asked permission to take down the head and bury it, along with the body, away from his store some distance. At first they refused to let him do so.

“Your people,” one of the chiefs told him, “do not bury our dead, and we will not bury yours.”

Leith was not so easily dissuaded, knowing that if he did not press the issue, the head and body might well remain where they were until they rotted. He shook his head angrily and resorted to the only form of pressure he could exert. “If you don’t let me bury those remains, I promise you I will move my trading post from here to Chief Pipe’s Village on the Tymochtee.”

The village of Pipe—Pimoacan’s Town—was about five miles to the west, and if Leith reestablished himself there, it would cause a considerable inconvenience for the Wyandots here at the New Half King’s Town. So, with poor grace, they gave in and told Leith he could do with the body as he wished. After a short while, when the Indians dispersed and returned to the village, Leith took down the head and returned it to the body. He washed the blood off both, wrapped them together in a clean blanket and buried them. A short time later some of the warriors returned and, seeing what he had done, took several sharpened stakes and drove them deeply into the fresh grave and through the buried body as a final act of triumph.

The villagers were still keyed up over it all when, hardly a quarter-hour later, a party of Delawares arrived with the American commander, Col. William Crawford in tow. Another stir of excitement rippled through Half King’s Town. The Delaware -were on their way to Pimoacan’s Village with Crawford but stopped by here to show him off and to see if Simon Girty would consent to seeing him, assuming that such a meeting would be all right with Monakaduto.

Permission was granted by Monakaduto himself, who led Crawford and his two guards to his own house where Girty was temporarily lodging. Despite the fact that it was now nearing midday, Girty was still asleep, having drunk himself into a stupor the preceding night. Monakaduto roused Girty and then let the captive and the British agent talk privately.

“Heard you was took, Colonel,” Girty said, regarding him through bloodshot eyes. “I get no pleasure seeing you here. Guess you know you’ve got yourself into bad trouble.”

“I know that, Girty,” Crawford replied. “That’s why I asked to see you. I was hoping you’d somehow be able to help get me out of this. I’ll see that you’re well rewarded.”[29]

Girty shook his head. “I ain’t got much hope of that. Trouble is, it’s the Delawares got you, not Wyandots. Them Delawares are plenty damn mad over what happened at Gnadenhütten.”

“I had no part in that,” Crawford protested. “That was Dave Williamson’s work.”

“Figgered as much. But you led this one, an’ they’ll just figger you done both. Reckon you boys didn’t come here for no friendly visit, so they ain’t gonna be no kind feelin’ toward you.”

“The point is, can you get me off? You can tell them I’ll divulge military information in exchange for my freedom, but for nothing less. Can you ransom me?”

Girty shrugged. “Dunno. Doubt it. But I got me some friends aroun’ an’ I’ll talk to ‘em an’ see what mebbe we can do. You wait here and I’ll do some checkin’ an’ see. Might take a few hours.”

Then he was gone. Crawford settled back to wait, still apprehensive but also with more optimism than previously, knowing the influence Girty carried with many of the Indians. Crawford’s optimism was not at this moment being experienced by his namesake nephew, his son-in-law and one of the expedition’s guides. Those three, Ens. William Crawford, Pvt. William Harrison and Guide John Slover, were at this very instant approaching the Shawnee capital village of Wapatomica, some 40 miles to the southwest.

As these men were led into the town, they passed the still smoldering remains of a fire and the body of a man who had been tortured to death at the stake. As they came closer, they recognized the freshly burned remains of Maj. John McClelland. Grateful to leave the scene behind, they moved on to the center of town, where they were surrounded by a noisy swarm of Shawnees. Slover was well known here, of course, having been a Shawnee prisoner for six years, and many of the Indians called to him and made remarks, most of which were not complimentary. Surprisingly, however, several approached and shook his hand and seemed delighted when he addressed them by name.

group of warriors were on hand from the village of Mackachack, some six and half miles southwest of here, down the Mad River. After some discussion between them and the others, the leader of the Mackachack Shawnees pointed at Ens. William Crawford, who was immediately turned over to them and led off toward their village to be burned at the stake.[30]

More discussions were begun and dragged on and on, and gradually verbal disputes broke out among them. After two hours or more, they seemed no closer to agreement than when they began. The conflict seemed to arise from what they should do with John Slover. Ordinarily, an escaped captive who was recaptured was condemned to death as a matter of course. Slover, however, had been well liked during his tenure here, and there were those in the crowd who apparently thought his life should be spared. At last, after two hours of squabbling, it was decided that a formal council would have to be held where all who wished to have their say in the matter could be heard, a vote taken and the matter resolved. A young woman with whom Slover had been more than friendly, Pahcotai Sisqui—Autumn Leaf—requested and was given the responsibility of keeping him—and preventing his escape

—until the council was held in three or four days.

Where Pvt. William Harrison was concerned, however, there was no debate. As Slover was now taken off to one side, the private was stripped of all clothing and taken out 100 yards or more from the village. A double gauntlet line quickly formed, extending all the way from where Harrison was positioned to the huge msi-kah-mj qui, or council house. If he managed to make it through the gauntlet and into the structure, he would be safe, at least for a while.

Harrison was started down the gauntlet by a savage blow with a club across his buttocks. It lifted him off his feet and knocked him flat, and he was struck numerous times more with switches and clubs before he was able to regain his feet and commence running. Once started, however, he amazed everyone with his fleetness and ability to dodge the blows aimed at him.

As he approached the council house, still relatively unharmed, one of the Indian women ran up with a panful of hot coals, stepped directly in his path and threw them full in his face. Many struck him and bounced away, doing little harm, but one hit his open eye and he screamed with the pain. At the same time, using the momentum he had built up, he leaped and kicked her in the stomach with such force that it killed her. Immediately pummeled by the weapons of those nearby, he tried to break free and get to the council house, now only mere yards away. It was not to be. The husband of the woman he had killed rushed up brandishing a rifle and put a bullet through Harrison’s head.

Harrison was scalped and his body dumped beside the burned remains of Maj. McClelland Then both were beheaded, their bodies dragged outside the town for the dogs to feed on and their heads impaled on tall poles, which were then stuck in the ground in the center of the village near the council house.

Back at Half King’s Town in the late afternoon, Col. William Crawford, awaiting the return of Simon Girty, had begun to think that his former companion would not return at all. As the hours passed, he had become progressively more depressed. Now, with sunset approaching, his depression became overwhelming as Simon Girty finally returned to him, his expression grim. What the British Indian agent had to say did nothing to elevate Crawford’s spirits.

“I have tried with all those I know who might have helped,” he told the colonel. “All but a few refused even to listen. They don’t have much fondness for Americans. Most said you deserve whatever may be in store for you, which most hoped was death. Those few who might have helped can do nothing to get you released.”

Crawford said nothing, but he shook his head slightly. Girty continued: “You will be staying in this village tonight, and in the morning the Delawares will take you to Pimoacan’s Village, which will almost surely be the beginning of the end for you. There is only one possible hope left. Escape. Tonight will be your only opportunity, and I strongly urge you to take it. Only one Indian will be guarding you tonight, and he is almost certain to go to sleep, at which time you can slip away. I have told you where my camp is. Come there, and you will find my horse already saddled and ready for you. My Negro will also be waiting to go with you, and he will guide you on the road toward Detroit, as far as he can go and still get back to my camp by morning. At Detroit you can give yourself up at the garrison and you will be taken into custody, but at least you will be safe with the British officers there. This, my friend, is all I can do for you. You can easily get away, if you will. If not, tomorrow they will kill you.”

Crawford continued shaking his head and replied in a voice so soft it was barely audible, “I am too weak and tired to try that.”

“You may come to wish you had, my friend,” Girty murmured sadly. “Don’t give up hope yet. I will still be tryin’ t’save you somehow.”[31]

A short while later Crawford’s Delaware guards led him away to the hut that had been provided for them for the night. The colonel went with them meekly, as if sleepwalking in the midst of a worsening nightmare.[32]

June 10th.—We crossed the Muskingham between the two upper Towns. After we had dispatched small Bodies to each of the Towns on our Flanks. Here we counted our men and found their Number to be 380.

We again tryed to steer a nearer course to our old trail, and stood E. one point southerly. Upon a high ridge we struck the M’Intosh path to the Towns. quit it unmindfull that it strikes our trail upon a ridge as mentioned May 27th .We encamped about 2 miles from our old trail, and were joined by 3 men— [34]





Monday morning, June 10, 1782



Monday morning, the tenth of June, we were paraded to march to Sandusky, about thirty-three miles destant; they had eleven prisoners of us and four scalps, the Indians being seventeen in number.

Col. Crawford was very desirous to see a certain Simon Girty, who lived with the Indians, and was on this account permitted to go to town the same night, with two warriors to guard him, having orders at the same time to pass by the place where the Col. had turned out his horse, that they might if possible, find him. The rest of us were taken as far as the old town which was within eight miles of the new.[35]

June 10, 1783

The 10th. Several days ago, after the greater part of the prisoners had already arrived, two officers and fifty men of the Brunswickers came to New York quite unexpectedly. Since their captivity over five years ago they had heard nothing at all. They had been shut. up in the mountains and employed in ironworks. They were not half clad, and misery and hunger could be read in their faces. On the whole, the Brunswick troops have endured the most misfortune of all the Germans. They were cap­tured early in the first campaign, were not clothed again by their masters, and not a single officer was advanced since that time. There are many captains among them who were already captains in 1760.[37]

This are the only entries approaching Daniel McKinnon in appearance. And we know he must have been there because Theophilus says so.[38]



June 10, 1810: Ruth McKinnon was born December 4, 1755 and about 1785 married Captain John Bavington
(Bevington) born February 2, 1750. They both died in Washington County, Pennsylvania, he on June 10, 1810 and she on February 4, 1824. They took up a Patent called "Milltown" in Washington County, PA, February 22, 1786. They had ten children(37). (The records of Pennsylvania were not research for additional information.) [39]



June 10, 1819









A marriage certificate on record in the Clarke County, Ohio, courthouse indicates Conrad and Catherine were married June 10, 1819, before Saul Henkle (Ref #10). According to my notes he was a Methodist Episcopal Minister that came to Clark County by horseback from West Virginia. He was the first clerk of court. The record sent to me from Dorothy Nordgren (Ref #5) shows the date of marriage was 1818 but the marriage certificate shows clearly “1819”. This 1818 certificate date may have been inserted at some time to make insignificant the date of birth of their first child, Matilda, which was August 18, 1819, just 3 months and 10 days after the date of marriage. John, the second child was not born until 4 years later. The next chapter reveals that in the year 1819 not only did Conrad get married and have a child but he bought 83 acres of land and paid $1,000. cash for it. Note Mary Ann lived to be 98 years of age but Nancy Jane died at age 26 and Matilda died at 14. (Ref #5). When Catherine died the children were the following ages:

William Harrison Goodlove (my great grandfather) was 13,

Mary Ann was 21; Joseph was 17 and already a teacher, John was married and on his own at age 27. Nancy lived close by and was married to Dr. Milton Read Hunter and Catherine was enjoying her grandson, Franklin C. Hunter, who was 3 years old.

To complete the incident: the 10th June, 1825, was the time for the semi-centenial meeting. Two old veterans met, from the original Capt. Stevenson’s company, a splendid dinner was prepared for them, a company of artillerymen from Shepardstown joined in the celebration, an appropriate oration was pronounced, & the old veterans, by special request, sung the song “That seat of science, Athens”, & some other of their old war songs.

June 10, 1865

The brigade’s medical inspector was disappointed in his attempt to check the men and their quarters. Most members of the regiment slipped off to town, and those who remained demanded he inspedct their rations of rotten cod fish and meat first. Private Rigby was further upset that his company had to share their quarters with the “card playing community,” whose gambling often went on until midnight.[44]



Most of the men were anxious to return home. Lucas informed his brothyer:

“You wish me to give you my opinion as to what part of the country I would prefer of all those through which I traveled during the war. I will say ‘Iowa,’ because, although the winters are generally long and severe, it is healthful. It is only after having spent some time in the field and in a country where it hardly ever freezes hard enough to purify the atmosphere that a man can appreciate the healthful climate of Iowa. I think that any man can appreciate the healthful climate of Iowa. I thingk that any

Belgian of ordinary constitution should not go to live south of Saint Louis, or at least not south of the 38th degree of latitude.[45]



Lucas went on to express his dissatisfaction of Secretary of War Stanton’s treatment of General Sherman. Judging frfom the newspaper reports, the captain felt that the break between the two over the liberal surrender terms of General Johnston’s army was Stanton’s fault. If the proposed terms had been accepted by Washington, Lucas felt, it would have done much to restore friendly feeling between the sections. In Lucas’ opinion, the war had produced three great military generals, Sheridan, Sherman, and Grant. The Belgian was certain Grant would now make a better Secretary of War than Stanton.[46]

In this Convoy 3, a young girl of 20, Annette Zelman, was deported. A French woman, she was guilty not only of being Jewish but also of having dared to be loved by a non-Jewish Frenchman. Document #XLII-27 of the CDJC, the police write-up on her, states:

“ Annette Zelman, Jew, born in Nancy on October 6, 1921. Arrested on May 23, 1942. Imprisoned by the Police Prefecture from May 23 to June 10; sent to the Tourelle camp from June 10 to June 21; transferred to Germany on June 22. Reason for arrest: intention to marry an Aryan, Jean Jausion. The two declared their written intention to give up the project to marry, according to Dr. Jausion’s desire, who had hoped that they would be dissuaded and the young Zelman girl would simply be returned to her family without any further trouble.” Continued but missing. [52]

[28] The fork in the trail was located some seven miles east of present Upper Sandusky, a quarter-mile east of the roadside rest area on U.S. Route 30.

[29] One account states that Crawford offered Girty $30,000 to save him; others, probably more reliably, say the amount Crawford first offered was $1,000.

[30] No further details are known respecting the ultimate fate of Ens. William Crawford, apart from the fact that the Shawnees there reported that several captives taken from Col. Crawford’s army were burned at the stake. Ens. Crawford, never heard of again, is assumed to have been one of these.

[31] Contrary to the legend that has grown up around Simon Girty as the archrenegade who delighted n torturing prisoners, he strove far beyond what might have been expected in his efforts to save Crawford’s life, even, as will be seen to the point of ultimately his own life in jeopardy. His efforts to save Crawford were extensive and fully corroborated by Mrs. Valentine McCormick, wife of the proprietor of McCormick’s Trading Post at the New Half King’s Town, who personally witnessed what he didi. Most histories of Crawford’s campaign, his capture and execution have, unfortunately, been led astray by what was long considered the foremost history of these events as portrayed by Consul Wilshire Butterfield in his book, An historical Account of the Expedition Against Sandusky Under William Crawford in 1782; with Biographical Sketches, Personal Reminiscences and Descriptions of Interesting Localities, including, also, Details of the Disastrous Retreat, the Barbarities of the Savages and the Awful Death of Colonel Crawford by Torture (Cincinnati, 1873). Sadly, Butterfield’s history of the campaign must be largely discounted, since he was himself strongly influenced by a hightly prejudiced account of these events attributed to Dr. aJohn Knight and entitled Dr. Knight’s Narrative, which was, in fact, written and edited by Hugh H. Brackenridge, who interviewed Dr. Knight at his bedside and grossly distrorted what Knight told him. He was equally prejudicial in respect to John Slover’s Narrative. Brackenridge made no secret of the fact that he positively detested the Indians and that he deliberately set about to paint Simon Girty as the ost villainously cruel and loathsome renegade who ever lived. Anything Brackenridge encountered thqat showed Girty capable of compassion was omitted or deliberately altered to Girty’s detriment. Prior to becoming involved with Dr. Knight, Brackenridge had for some time published a Philadelphia political journal, in which his anti-Indian leanings were clearly exposed. Indians were consistently referred to as savages or monsters or worse in his writings, and in his editorial observations, included with both the John Slover and John Knight narratives, he refers to the native people as those “animals vulgarly called Indians.” He emphatically claimed that white men could not deal with Indians in any respect because of the cruelty and fierceness of the latter, that such Indians had no rights whatever to the land they occupied and that, in fact, all western lands belonged only to those who cultivated them in accordance to the dictates of God as they appeared in the Bible. Simon Girty’s wife, Catherine, often stated emphatically in later years that Dr. Knight’s narrative was “either utterly untrue or greatly exaggerated.”
